President Truman

I've been reading David McCullough's book,"Truman" about the life of our 33rd president. I knew the basics about his two terms in office, how he directed the integration of the Army, and how he won in a major upset in 1948, but it's taken the book to make me fully appreciate just how great Harry Truman really was—as the leader of our country, but mostly as a simple, no nonsense person. I highly recommend this book and I'm not one to usually be so excited about "history". Most interesting is making comparisons to the manner in which our government functioned back then, and how it does today. "Google it" and check out the reviews for yourself.
